Plus they've got to be massive dickheads like Zab Judah or Joan Guzman for Mr VIP to identify with them. I think you hit the nail on the head Gaz. Ajose is in the who needs him club, he's awkward to watch, awkward to fight, not much of an engaging persona, they needed to take a risk or two to get him out there. They've havn't regularly got him meaningful fights, and when they have they've fallen through. He did win the African title though.
I am always right about Ajose because he keeps defeating whatever is put before him. I was not wrong about Khan because I knew the limited strong man Maidana would get to him which he did. Full credit to him not for winning the fight because I am not sure he did but for surviving being knocked. If Maidana can get to him what do you think the better skilled, technical fast fighters like Bradley, Ajose and Alexander will do to Khan. All the guys you mention are welcome to fight Ajose but shame they don't share your confidence that they would beat him senseless.
At least he made that tosser Lynes quit who you all thought would beat him. As if that was even realistic!
Is it his fault that opponents sign up to fight him and the pull out. You make it sound as if inactivity has been planned.
Well if they do says a lot about them does it not. Irrespective he will win the title whoever the opponent is.
How the hell would you know. We threw him in as a novice with 7 fights against the much more experienced Holgate who he stopped and retired from the game. We allowed him to fight Ali Nuumbembee in a catchweight fight after both Lynes and Bami pulled out late and he ruined Nuumbembee. People forget that at that time no one really wanted to face Nuumbembee.
He also won the British title and Commonwealth title and is undefeated and unbeatable at 140 -155 pounds.
I have already seen what the limited feather fisted plodder Kotelnik did to the highly skilled technically fast fighter like Devon. About Olegsun let him beat some one with a pulse before saying he can KO Khan.
Actually we have taken risks with him the problem is he negotiated those risks so successfully he has been avoided like the plague. In retrospect coming in as a last minute substitute to destroy Bradley Pryce was not a smart move as that alerted others to the potent danger.
Why would they want to fight Ajose? He's beaten no one of any real note, he's not a big draw and there are better, more recognisable fights out there for the cream of the division. It's nothing to do with how good he is, there's just no reason to fight him. If he loses he's just another euro-level fighter who got found out when he stepped up. Where's the gain for anyone? Another thing: you picked Maidana to beat Khan, now you've revised your pick that Maidana would catch up with Khan. Well so what, everyone with a brain and knowledge of the sport knew Maidana could have moments, and also that faster more skilled opponents could do much worse to Khan. None of this is great insight. You need to start acting with a little more humility. Tim Bradley was in a similar position to Ajose a couple of years ago. He worked himself up into the mandatory spot and went wherever he could fight. The he went to the champ's home and took the title away. That's what champions do. You spend all your time crying that no one wants to face Ajose.
I don't cry punk I state facts. Ajose has worked his way to the number 1 contender position in the WBC ratings by winning full stop. He is fighting later this month in the WBC final eliminator to become the mandatory contenderm, again in the other guys hometown of Algiers in Algeria. Ajose is doing what Bradley did actually. I have a lot of time and respect for both Tim Bradley and Devon Alexander even before they became champions. Yes they are that good and anyone who reads my posts know how highly I rate them as I do Paul McCloskey. I don't have the same high regard for Khan's talent who though gifted with handspeed has glaring in built weaknesses. The Maidana fight actually validated Khan's weaknesses I had identified many years ago. I don't really want to identify them but its not his chin which is what a lot of people thought but that is not great either.
